Timeline of Donald Trump and the 2021 United States Capitol Attack

Jan 6

 * 10:00 a.m. or 10:15 a.m.:  Trump and Meadows informed crowd is armed.
 * 12:00p.m.: Trump begins speech
 * 12:45 p.m.: Trump calls for magnetometers to be removed. (timeline check?)
 * 1:10p.m.: Trump ends his speech.
 * 1:17p.m.: Trump's motorcade leaves the ellipse. Secret Service did not allow Trump to march to the Capitol and drives him back to the White House against his wishes.  Trump allegedly grabbed for the steering wheel and assaulted his lead Secret Service agent.
 * 2:15 p.m./2:25pm: Cassidy Hutchinson reports learning that Trump endorsed violence against Pence:"I remember Pat saying something to the effect of, ‘Mark, we need to do something more. They’re literally calling for the vice president to be f-ing hung,’” she testified. “And Mark had responded something to the effect of, ‘You heard him, Pat. He thinks Mike deserves it. He doesn’t think they’re doing anything wrong."
 * 2:24p.m.: Trump tweets: Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!"
 * 2:38p.m.: Trump tweets: Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!
 * 3:13 p.m.: Trump tweets: I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!
 * 4:17p.m.: Trump uploads a video to his Twitter denouncing the riots, but maintaining the false claims that the election was stolen. This was one of three takes, with the "most palatable option" chosen by White House aides for distribution. In the video he says:

"I know your pain, I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt. It's a very tough period of time. There's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us — from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You're very special. You've seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace."
